If you loved The Lady of Musashino, try Tokyo March
Un puente entre una película que ya has visto y una que casi nadie ha cruzado. Esto es lo que comparten, y lo que la segunda hace que la primera no hace.
Lo que comparten
Both films are directed by Kenji Mizoguchi, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Lady of Musashino, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Tokyo March is
Tokyo March sets an unrequited romance against the glittering billboards and geisha districts of 1920s Tokyo, where a taxi dancer’s wages can’t buy love even when the city’s first neon lights call her name. The film pivots on a single train platform goodbye that still lingers in the three reels left to us. Given what survives, it’s remarkable how much heartache a city can carry.
